I don't believe in it anyway (and if I did believe it I wouldn't get in anyway  ) but a heaven without animals, insects, etc., wouldn't be any place I would want to be.
It may well be a palace with jewels on the floor and for the foundation and lit by the light of the lord but a place full of dead relatives?; it sounds like ground hog day at a family wedding with no hope of escape.  |

Don't think about the concept of heaven too much, you realise it is no better than hell itself 
I agree with above, it is usually people of faith whom are not willing to contemplate the fact that animals cannot have any sort of emotion. Very sad IMO.

Must be nice, though, to go through life not needing any logical proof or evidence to back up your beliefs. You can pretty much make up anything you want. Now that is heaven |

Debates about religion generally end in tears so I will leave this thread here. |

With all due respect, Religious discussions belong in Religious groups. Take them outside and they are going to take Flak. |

I won't say what I was gonna say, but I've always believed that animals have emotions. Think it's selfish for some people to think they don't. We ain't the only intellegent species here!! Though sometimes i think other animals are more intellegent than some of the peeps on this planet!! xxx

Who knows what happens when we die.
I would like to think we don't just disappear into oblivion but no body knows till we get there.. 
The magpies are intelligent creatures so maybe they do feel something when one of them dies..
Other creature do as stated before.. | | | |
